G'day
Possums,
it's
been a couple of weeks of depressing news as we here on Oz are forced to
contemplate the policy bereft Ruling Rabble not only stumbling their inept way
through the minefield they laid out in expectation of a Labor electoral victory
but increasingly doing their faltering best in trashing "Brand
Australia" to a saner world's eyes.... the pics this week give
architectural equivalence to the prevailing Oz "Kultur" found on a
trip to the Fleurieu Peninsular in South Aussie but the landscapes provide what
passes for hope for a future.
Back home from giving another horsy picture
book to Betty Windsor and for all the world looking like an over excited bogan
school-boy as he did it, the Liar from the Shire, Prime Miniature Happy-Clapper
Scummo, Hypocrite in Chief, has had to face up to some unpalatable facts other than his partner's dress sense..

The
Economy which he touted during the election campaign as being strong, stable
and growing is doing the opposite and sliding inexorably into recession.
Unemployment
is rising in place of "jobs, jobs, jobs". Even with the overly
generous at 5.4% stats on which the
Ruling Rabble rely some analysts place the figure more realistically at double 10.5%....and the further cutting of penalty rates for 800,000 low paid workers whilst giving
yourself a 2% pay increase will surely alleviate the floundering retail
sector... wont it?
Carbon
emission targets which he said would
".....be met in a canter..." have also gone in the other direction
leaving his irrelevant Energy Minister Angsty Taylor with not only Egg on his
face but more problems with his $80,000,000.00 worth of non-existent water and
to answer the question...just who besides besties banks in the Cayman's?

Providing
a possible solution to the water problems was failed real estate entrepreneur
and current contemporary manifestation of an Australian Environment minister,
Suss Ley who spouted that "...farmers could borrow water from the drought
ravaged and cotton drained Murray/Darling River as they need it, as the river
and its slowly asphyxiating fish, don't!
How
said farmers are to repay on the borrowing was not explained as it was rumoured
that Suss was too busy checking mortage rates.

HMAS
Perth was not the only one not there to greet three Chinese warships on their milk run into
Sydney recently. It has been dry-docked for two years after an extensive
re-fit. Good sailors it seems are awfully hard to impress these days.
The
responsible minister at the time, the Pugnacious Payne is now off with foreign
affairs and the current excuse for defence minister Lazy Lindy Reynolds, like most Ruling Rabble apparatchiks when
faced with their own incompetence, was "unavailable for comment."
The
Chinese, on the other hand, said,
"Ta, for the milk".... and that it was just co-incidental that
they arrived unannounced on the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square
Massacre.... which never happened!

It
is assumed that Mickey The Prince, Pezzullo made the Ruling Rabble's enforcement
gang, The Australian Federal Police, an offer they couldn't refuse. So they
dropped their investigation into who was named Potato-Head and leaked
classified info to the press in order to advantage the Ruling Rabble's
electoral chances. Instead, they turned their kinky attentions for seven hours
to Ugly American journo Annika Smethurst's home and undies drawer looking for
exposed secrets and then to the ABC's Sydney offices. with a warrant which ominously allowed them to
"copy, change, delete or alter" any material they sequestered.

Having
not smashed their way in I suppose we can't call it the AFP's "Kristallnacht" but as the economy
falters and the police state grows, an episode like that is probably not too
far off.
ABC's
Chair, Ita Buttonhole said, "I will fight ..on the beaches...any attempts to muzzle the
national broadcaster or interfere with its obligations to the Australian
public. Independence is not exercised by degrees. It is absolute." And promptly announced she was going to chat with the other media media
players...all two of them, to see what apart from their detestation of the ABC
and like the IPA wanting its demise, they had in common.
Feeling
safe that the AFP were looking the other way, The Harpy, Cash re-emerged from
behind her whiteboard to dementedly squawk, "Jobs mean A.D.A.N.I, Jobs mean A.D.A.N.I.. " a few
time before scurrying back to her hairdresser.
And
then to show what a united nation we really are, everyone, but everyone spent
the week piling into unionist John Setka who allegedly (he denies it) made heretical comments about the saintly
Rosie Batty to add to his list of misdemeanors.
Unfortunately
for the mob, Setka is made of sterner stuff than say Sam Dastyari or Emma Husar and is refusing to wilt (as
yet) and provide another trophy for the Ruling Rabble's games room.
Hoo-roo
Petals,
Shane.
PS
....It must be Time to March on Canberra, mustn't it?
